First Time Family Pictures

We finally did it! Thanks to Facebook, I recently saw some gorgeous photos of families I know. I just had to get ours done too. We have never had professional pictures done, now I couldn’t resist. I wanted some nice pics of the whole family. So we did it!

I contacted the photographer who took the pictures of the other families, her name is Lisa with LiLo Photography. She set us up to meet at a local Museum that has a working farm, great place to snap pics.

Can I just tell you that I LOVE the pictures? I was so nervous because honestly I didn’t know if my boys would cooperate. My 2 little ones did not cooperate after about 15 minutes, lol. I was unsure if they gave her any good shots.

Well folks that is what Professionals are for! Of course she captured perfect pics of them. So thankful!!

If you are in the Denver area, I highly recommend her. She has an amazing portfolio that you can view online at Facebook (please “Like” her, you will love the pics she posts) or on her website.

She made us feel comfortable right away. She introduced herself to the boys and made them feel special, thank you for that Lisa!

A Prayer for Teachers

Are you on Pinterest? WOW! I have been super inspired since finding it. While cruising through checking out all the great stuff I came across a Class Rules sign on Pinterest. I love the sign, I printed it for our Homeschool Room.

I decided to visit the blog that it originated on and I found this wonderful prayer for any teacher. I hope to pray this prayer many every morning. I took the text and redesigned it to be “rainbow-ey”, if you like the prayer, click here to download it.

PS- the font I used for Lord and Amen came from another Pinterest post, ultimately from the eighteen25 blog, thanks ladies!

Fun in the Sun

The weather here in Colorado is crazy! One day it is 70 , the next it is snowing and freezing, then back to 70 the next day. Seriously!

Last week on one of the so-so days we had some fun outside. Wasn’t too cold, wasn’t too hot.

The boys did floor puzzles on the sidewalks, we colored the sidewalks with chalk. We ate lunch on a blanket in the grass, fun! To top it off… the boys went for the costume drawer, which is always a hit.

Super Duper Sweetness

As you may have seen from an earlier post, my son and I went on a date recently. We had a really great time. I wanted to share with you, a sweet, intimate moment between the 2 of us. While at a restaurant I excused myself to use the restroom. When I came around the corner to our booth, my son was sitting in my seat, I watched for a second and realized he was taking pictures of himself with the camera. I sneaked up behind him and joined in the pictures, he never knew I was behind him.

When I sat down he told me to look at the pics on the camera. I told him he should look with me. He was so surprised to see me in some of the pics, he loved it. BUT THE BEST PART … I had another surprise coming too. While looking through them I realized that in each picture he is signing a word to form I LOVE YOU, through the succession of pictures.

Here they are:
